   • In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, red onion, celery, jalapeno chile, garlic, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, flour, eggs, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. Cooking:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If needed, you can use two skillets simultaneously to cook the cakes in batches.
   • Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon.
   • Cook the corn cakes for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to medium to prevent burning.
   • Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Optionally, you can keep them warm in the oven at a low temperature (around 200°F or 95°C) covered with foil until ready to serve.

Serving

These sauteed corn cakes are best served warm. They pair wonderfully with grilled or roasted chicken, fish tacos, or even as a tasty vegetarian main dish. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor. Enjoy these crispy, flavorful cakes as a versatile addition to your meal!
